Avatar n tn these days everyone says i'm much thinner and prettier. i guess(i never go to measure it rather accurately) i may have lost 10kg+ in less than 4 months. yet some people tell me they feel i'm now spiritless and my eyes lose focus. i'm rather worried abt it actually. i mean, according to observation, my physical health indeed is affected (my hair is dropping and it's getting incredibly thinner), so will it affect my mental health also?
Avatar n tn I should also note that I was struggling with anorexia during this period as well, which might be similar to the malnourishment meth addicts experience. Just to clarify a few things, I am not a meth addict, I no longer struggle with anorexia, and I have been at or above a healthy weight always for the last 10 years. I've also had no problems with insomnia for 10 years (thanks to medication).

Avatar f tn why do girls with anorexia stop getting their periods ? what is the link to Kyphosis to anorexia ?
Avatar f tn t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.
Avatar n tn Dear kate306, Your gastrointestinal system could definitely be thrown off from your anorexia. Your current anxiety could be the culprit for your diarrhea. Anxiety and Anorexia often go hand in hand. Seeking medical attention for your diarrhea is recommended. Getting to the root of your anxiety and decreasing your anxiety is critical.
